AI Article Synopsis

  • Cancer induced bone pain (CIBP) significantly impacts the quality of life for patients with advanced osteosarcoma or metastatic bone tumors, with motor impairment being an underexplored area.
  • The study created a model of CIBP by injecting Lewis lung cancer cells into mice, observing that pain and motor coordination were impaired as the tumor grew.
  • Results indicated that motor performance, particularly balance and coordination, declined with increased pain, highlighting the need for further research into the mechanisms behind CIBP and its effects on movement.

Article Abstract

Cancer induced bone pain (CIBP) occurs in patients with advanced osteosarcoma or metastasized bone tumors that can negatively affects the patient's quality of life. However, motor impairment in CIBP is still understudied. To improve the quality of life of patients with CIBP, the study of CIBP induced movement impairment is of particular importance. Here, we presented a model of metastatic cancer induced bone pain caused by an allograft of Lewis lung cancer cells. In this method, we injected Lewis lung cancer cells into the femoral medulla cavity and recorded the pain behavior and motor behavior after CIBP surgery. We observed enhanced pain after the initial surgery. Interestingly, we found the latency on rotarod was significantly reduced concomitant with tumor growth and pain. This result indicated that the motor coordination and balance were severely impaired in CIBP. We also found the pain and motor behavioral differences in models that severed the patellar ligament vs. maintaining the patellar ligament. These findings provide a novel clue for further investigating the mechanisms responsible for the generation and development of CIBP.

Background: Pruritus is a distressing symptom of systemic opioid analgesia that responds poorly to conventional antipruritus treatments. This study aimed to determine the incidence and risk factors for postoperative pruritus using intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA).

Methods: Opioid-naïve patients who underwent morphine-based IV-PCA for postoperative pain at a tertiary center between January 1, 2020, and June 30, 2023, were included retrospectively.

Objective: Gliomas are a general designation for neuroepithelial tumors derived from the glial cells of the central nervous system. According to the histopathological and immunohistochemical features, the World Health Organization classifies gliomas into four grades. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody targeting vascular endothelial growth factor that has been approved for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) as a second-line therapy.

Background: Opioid use disorder (OUD) has been implicated as a potential risk factor for adverse outcomes and readmissions in various surgical procedures. Patients admitted with an open fracture of the lower extremity often have multifarious pain needs, require surgical procedures, and have prolonged rehabilitation; previous OUD complicates this process. Our goal was to describe at a national level how OUD is associated with readmission, complications, and healthcare expenditure for patients admitted with open lower extremity fractures.

Microtubule-stabilizing agents (enfortumab vedotin and brentuximab vedotin) and microtubule-disrupting agents (docetaxel and paclitaxel) are used as anticancer agents but can also induce drug eruptions. Recently, mitotic arrest figures have been reported in various non-neoplastic cells as the histopathologic side effect of these drug eruptions. Therefore, we performed a comparative analysis of drug eruptions associated with these microtubule-targeting agents.
